Purpose: The object of this study is to develop a novel BMP-2 delivery system for continuous osteogenic differentiation and to induce osteogenesis of stem cells using a bi-phase alginate carrier in vitro. Methods: Alginate nanoparticle loaded BMP-2 was prepared by the reverse emulsification-diffusion technique. Physical properties and release profiles of alginate carriers were measured by Instron and ELISA kit, respectively. Cell viability and alkaline phosphate activity of hBMSCs differentiation was also evaluated by MTS and Metra BAP assays, respectively. Results: Optimal concentration for bi-phase alginate carrier was determined as 2 wt% by evaluating mechanical and biological properties, and differentiation of BMSCs for bone regeneration. The 2% bi-phase alginate carrier had the lowest initial and final release ratio. In addition, the 2% bi-phase alginate carrier had a little higher ALP activity than the homogeneous carrier. An improved controlled release profile was obtained by combining alginate hydrogel with lyophilized particles. Conclusion: Bi-phase alginate carrier has many advantages such as biocompatibility and controlled release capability. It is expected to be effective as a scaffold and carrier in bone tissue engineering.

This research aims to develop core technologies for passive carrier (no power in carrier itself) transfer system. The technologies are passive levitation, propulsion, and guidance, which can be great benefits for semiconductor and display manufacturing industries. Passive maglev carrier is necessary to precise position control for quiet and stable transfer operation. However, the structural characteristics of carrier and the installation errors of gap sensors cause the pitch motion. Hence, the controller design in consideration of pitch motion is required. This study deals with the reduction control of carrier pitch motion. PDA controller and PDA controller with pitch control are proposed to compare the pitch angle analysis. The pitch angle and the levitation precision are measured by experiment. Finally, the optimized design of pitch controller is presented and the effects are discussed.

In this paper, we propose a carrier frequency offset estimation method for single-carrier MIMO systems. In the proposed method, phase rotated PN (Pseudo-Noise) sequences are transmitted to prevent a cancelling out of partial PN sequences. After removing a modulation of received PN sequences by multiplying of complex conjugated PN Sequences which are locally generated in receiver, a CFO (Carrier Frequency Offset) is accurately estimated by employing L&R method which is a kind of ML (Maximum Likelihood) estimation algorithm and uses multiple auto-correlatos. In addition, the frequency offset estimation scheme by using channel state information is proposed for accurate CFO estimation in time-varying Rayleigh channel. By performing computer simulations, MSE (Mean Square Error) performance of proposed method is almost same as MSE performance of SISO systems in AWGN channel. Moreover, MSE Performance of proposed method with using channel information is higher than MSE performances of SISO system and conventional method in time-varying Rayleigh channel.

IEEE 802.11 WLAN uses CSMA/CA(Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance) method in MAC(Media Access Control) protocol, and through the carrier sense checks whether other users use the channel during the data transmission to avoid the data collision. Currently, IEEE 802.11 standard recommends the use of a fixed threshold which gives an impact on carrier sensing range. However, the existing scheme using the fixed threshold causes the operation of network to be inefficiency owing to the mobility in MANET(Mobile Ad hoc NETwork). In this paper, we found the better network throughput to be obtained by applying the proposed scheme, which chooses properly the carrier sensing threshold and transmission rate considering SINR(Signal to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio), to the MANET.

This study is to find new methods in describing material type as content type and carrier type for the improvement of OPAC retrieval and the embodiment of work and expression of FRBR. It is hard to describe type vocabulary in cataloging because division of content and carrier taxonomy in KCR4 and KORMARC is not distinct. This study is to review the characteristics of material type list in RDA and ISBD(2010), and to examine the various type vocabulary and description methods of videorecording, soundrecording, and cartographic by retrieving KERIS DB. As a result, there is no consistency in applying type vocabulary between KCR4 and KORMARC. Also, libraries use the mix of content and carrier or detailed carrier vocabulary for local use. Therefore, it is need to define the function of GMD as content type, to expand and correct content and carrier vocabulary, and to express both content and carrier type in citation and detailed display. This study will contribute to embody the expression of FRBR.

The objective of this work was to study separation of short peptide (glycine-tyrosine) by using supported liquid membranes (SLMs) containing Aliquat as a cationic carrier, In the present investigation, the influence of pH of donor phase, concentrations of carrier and salt concentrations of acceptor phase on separation flux rate were investigated. Below pH 7.0 the flux rate was not affected by NaCl concentration or carrier concentration. However, the rate was increased significantly above pH 7.0. The rate with Hossain's SLM(H-SLM) containing $20\%$ Aliquat was about 3-fold higher with pH 9.0 at 0.25 M NaCl and 10-fold higher with pH 8.0 at 1.0 M NaCl than that with Duggan's SLM(D-SLM) containing $8\%$ Aliquat respectively. Furthermore, the rate with H-SLM was 10-fold higher at 1.0 M NaCl than the rate with 0.25 M NaCl, In conclusion, it would appear that the rate of separation was facilitated by using high salt concentrations together with high carrier concentrations above pH 7.0.

In order to provide some references for suitability of carrier-based aircrafts, this paper studies the flow field of exhaust jets and its impact on the flight deck. The geometrical models of aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircrafts are firstly built, on which unstructured tetrahedral meshes are generated for numerical analysis. Then, this paper simulates the flow field of exhaust jets to evaluate its impact on the Jet Blast Deflector (JBD) and the flight deck, when four carrier-based aircrafts are ready to start off in the bow. The standard k-${\varepsilon}$ equations, three-dimension N-S equations and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) theory are used in the analysis process. To solve the equations, the thermal coupling of the wind and the jet flow are also considered. The velocity and temperature distributions are provided with the simulation of the CFD software, FLUENT. The results indicate that: (1) this analytical method can be used to simulate aerodynamic problems with complex geometrical models, and the results are of high reliability; (2) the safety working area, the installation scheme of the JBD and the arrangement of the take-off position can be optimized through analysis.

A novel 60GHz optical carrier generator with a polarization domain-inverted structure is suggested and is demonstrated. The two arms of the Mach-Zehnder optical waveguide are periodically poled for quasi-phase velocity matching between the optical wave at 1550nm and the RF wave at 30 GHz. The center frequency of band-pass modulation and the 3 dB bandwidth of the fabricated modulator were measured to be 30.3 GHz and 5.1 GHz, respectively. Sub-carriers with the frequency difference of 60GHz waeregenerated under appropriate DC biac voltage application while the carrier was suppressed to lead to the power ratio between the modulated sub-carrier and the suppressed fundamental carrier of 28 dB, which proves that double sideband- suppressed carrier(DSB-SC) operation can be realized by the suggested single device.
